One hour back. Having more time is definitely better than having less time. That way I could spend an extra hour procrastinating and not doing my homework. As a bonus, jumping back in time is a more severe violation of physics and therefore would be more awesome.

Anyway, it would start with a great salad with lots of tasty stuff in it - apples, raisins, nuts, cherry tomatoes, lettuce etc. Also, there'll be freshly baked bread with excellent room-temperature butter and incredibly stinky cheeses. Maybe some antipasti to go with it.

For the main course, I think maybe whole wheat pasta with an interesting sauce.

For desert, something that combines hot and cold. Warm cake and ice cream, for example. Apple cakes are always good, or gooey chocolate cakes. Cheesecakes are usually cold.

This would probably change if it were hotter. Also, I'm assuming zero calories and as much space in my stomach as needed.

Next poster, an OKCupid question - what's the most embarrassing thing you're willing to write here?

I use both equally, as I generally practice correct capitalization when I type.

Favorite article of clothing you own and why?

Right now it's probably one of the new Threadless shirts just delivered to me, because they're hilarious and I really wanted some new t-shirts. Otherwise, probably my big grey wool coat, just for practicality's sake. And it gives me +5 serious points.

Everything you had planned for today is suddenly canceled. What do you do instead?

Yesterday or the day before. Someone in the Fleeting Thoughts thread pointed out that I had 1000 posts, 700 of which were in general. I thought, "wow, when did I post so much?" Then went on about my business.

What's the one quality about yourself you love more than anything else?

What's your strategy for dealing with the need to fart while in a quiet public place?

Ooh, tough one. I clench, and try to release it in a slow, controlled manner, while moving. That accomplishes three things: 1) people are less able to pin it on me, 2) over more area, the smell is less concentrated, and 3) hopefully I have enough ability to control the noise factor by controlling the speed of release.

How much pleasure do you get out of discovering something that nobody else around you has?

Discovering something new makes me really excited, it is the coolest thing, and I always want to blabber about it to anyone and everyone who will listen (or not, if they will pretend to listen at least! heehee)

Hot chocolate or coffee?

Funny you should ask. Regularly I don't go for too long, I forget lunch a lot, but even then I snack. But yesterday I just didn't eat at all, so unless there was a longer time that I don't remember, it would be 31 hours.

Is there any movie or band or book that you love so much that if someone said they hated it, not just didn't like it, but absolutely couldn't stand it, that you would have a hard time having a relationship with this person? Either romance or friendship.

I would probably make some sort of post alluding to an easy method with which to enlarge one's penis. Or how to procure cheap and authentic Rolex watches. Since, you know, it just so happens that the last post quite a few members make here is exactly this.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL, FOLKS! I would subvert the genre by backing up my claims with sweet, sweet truth! Essentially, my absence would be a small price to pay for a fora full of well-endowed, rolex-wearing gentlemen.

I think relativism of any sort leads to an inevitable stalemate, where no objectivity or empiricism can be agreed upon. Which eventually makes any sort of communication irrational, unstable, and valueless.

What was your favourite childhood game?
